Do Not Get Tired Of Doing What Is Good. At Just The Right Time You Will Reap A Harvest Of Blessing If You Don't Give Up! (Galatians 6:9) Challenges are a part of life and are to be expected; however they’re not intended to break us, but rather to build us and prepare us for greater. The stretching of your faith has given you the expansion to contain the incredible harvest God has promised you in this season. (James 1:3, Matthew 9:17) God causes everything to happen at exactly the right time! (2 Peter 3:1-9) I encourage you to remain confident, see through the lens of spiritual discipline the advantages God has given you of greater peace, greater favor and a greater anointing! You will see the goodness of the LORD this season! (Psalm 27:13-14)  "In the time of My favor I heard you and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of My favor, now is the day of salvation!” (2 Corinthians 6:2) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for...

In order to move forward into the preordained greater God has for you, it’s important that you don’t lose focus and you run in such a way to win the prize! (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28, 1 Corinthians 9:24) It’s easy instead of running the race with faith, patience and determination, to run away from situations that are frustrating or seemingly impossible. In the race of life, we will have hurdles, twists, turns, ups and downs, but it prepares us for greater and reveals to us the greatness of God within us! (Matthew 24:13, 1 John 4:4) I encourage you to endure until the end, even if you’re not the fastest or the strongest runner—God has greater for you! (Ecclesiastes 9:11, Matthew 24:13, Hebrews 11:39-40) “Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I am going to do something new. It’s already happening. Don't you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land!” (Isaiah 43:18-19 GWT) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With ...

God’s Plan Goes Far Beyond What You Can Ask, Think Or Imagine, According To His Power That Is At Work Within You! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s present and future plans are always for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope! (HCSB) The Hebrew translation for welfare is shalom meaning, “peace, complete state of well-being; fulfillment, happiness and prosperity.” Even in the midst of sadness and disappointment, God’s plans are not for evil, but they are always plans to give His children hope! The plan for your life and the circumstances you’re dealing with at this very moment are designed for you to call on God, seek Him and you will find Him! (Matthew 7:7) I encourage you to trust God and believe He is at work in your life, believe greater is coming and believe He is working everything out for your good and His glory! (Romans 8:28) “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!” (Jeremiah 29:11) ~ ...

t Is Good To Give Thanks To The LORD ! (Psalm 92:1) Every good present and every perfect gift comes from above, from the Father who made the sun, moon, and stars! (James 1:17) Everything we enjoy in the present and in the days and years to come is a gift from God worthy of thanksgiving! Even in our trials and tribulations, the LORD is good! [He is] a fortress in the day of trouble. He knows those who seek shelter in Him! (Nahum 1:7) I encourage you even during your greatest difficulties, to have the attitude of gratitude and see the Lord’s goodness, mercy and most of all His love for you! The LORD is good to everyone and has compassion for everything that He has made! (Psalm 145:9) “My sheep will never be lost and no one will tear them away from Me!” “I came so that My sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need!” (John 10:28, John 10:10) ~ GOD Pray this prayer with me : Father, today I say thank You for working out all things for my good! (Romans 8:28) May...

Thankfulness is a matter of how you view where you are right now. Are you thankful and at peace, while trusting in God’s will? ( Colossians 3:15 ) Thankfulness maximizes the blessings of life and minimizes the negative circumstances we encounter. No matter what you’re feeling, be it a health crisis, a deep hurt or a financial crisis, etc... I encourage you, even during your greatest difficulties to celebrate always, pray constantly and give thanks to God! (This is God’s will for all of you in Jesus the Anointed!) (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 T he Voice—VOICE) “Never worry about anything, but in every situation let Me know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks. Then My peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions!” (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father of exceeding abundance, I give you glory and I’m thankful You’re able to do all things well. Whenever I begin to become negative or complain let me r...

Those Who Control Their Tongue Will Have A Long Life; Opening Your Mouth Can Ruin Everything ! (Proverbs 13:3 NLT) “Watch Your Mouth” is one of the many pearls of wisdom I was taught at an early age. Watch Your Mouth simply means, “Be mindful of what you say, before you say it, so your words won’t get you into trouble.” That same idea is true with faith. If you want to know how mature your faith is, pay closer attention to your words. When you speak, do you build or edify with your words or do you tear down, are you courteous or rude, do you bless or curse, etc.…? (Romans 14:19, 1 Corinthians 13:5, Romans 12:14) I encourage you to Watch Your Mouth, because God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than all you ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within you! (Ephesians 3:20) "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life!” (John 6:63 NIV) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me : Fathe...

In Lamentations 3, mercy means undeserved or unmerited favor—GRACE! It’s easy to recognize the obvious places God has graced us, but it’s not so easy to see when things don’t seem to work out or when a season of difficulty comes. Things will not always go the way we’ve plan, but as long as we remain confident God’s purposes are for our good, we will be rewarded! (Romans 8:28, Hebrews 10:35) I encourage you, even when discouragement comes, don’t quit—God is empowering you to live it out and He’s given you grace for today through His indwelling Spirit! (Matthew 6:34) "The mountains may move and the hills may shake, but My love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" “My Grace Is Sufficient For You, My Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness!" (Isaiah 54:10, 2 Corinthians 12:9) ~ God   Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, I ask that You show me Your gift of favor in things I can’t see buried in difficulty and isolation. I’m grateful for Your everlasting promises to me and I...
